OOPS! tRUMP's IRS SENDS tRUMPVIRUS STIMULUS CHECKS TO DEAD PEOPLE PUBLISHED FRI, APR 17 20209:51 AM EDTUPDATED 2 HOURS AGO Greg Iacurci @GREGIACURCI cnbc.com KEY POINTS The Internal Revenue Service began depositing coronavirus stimulus payments into Americans’ bank accounts over the past several days. Some of that money made its way into the accounts of deceased individuals. An unlikely group counts itself among the recipients of the coronavirus stimulus checks: the dead. The IRS began distributing $290 billion in direct cash payments within the past week as part of the $2 trillion CARES Act stimulus bill. As part of the plan, IRS is sending checks of up to $1,200 per individual and $2,400 per married couple over the past several days to weather the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic. However, the agency directed some of the one-time payments to bank accounts of deceased individuals, USA Today reported this week. It’s not immediately clear how many deceased people received the direct deposits. Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky, said Wednesday a friend texted him to say his father, dead since 2018, had just received his $1,200 in stimulus money, according to MarketWatch. “We’re aware of all the survivor-related questions and we’re still working that issue,” IRS spokesman Eric Smith said. The Treasury Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
